Scholarships for Fall 2008 and Spring 2009
Child Family Health International (CFHI) is offering partial ($1000) and full scholarships during 2008 and 2009. Scholarships are to be used toward the program fees for CFHI programs. Scholarships to these programs are available during the following months only: Spring- February, March, April, May.  Fall- September, October, November and December. CFHI does not have scholarships available during the months of January or June through August. Recipients of partial scholarships are responsible for the remaining balance of CFHI program fees.  All recipients are responsible for their own airfare.

One full scholarship position has been reserved for student members of IFMSA. For more information on IFMSA, please see www.ifmsa.org. Please indicate on your application that you are an IFMSA member if you would like to be considered for this scholarship.

AMSA Pre-Med http://www.amsa.org/premed/, and CFHI have collaborated to make scholarship opportunities available to AMSA’s pre-medical members.  Contact your AMSA Pre-med regional director (contact info can be found using the above AMSA link) to apply for one of CFHI/Pre-med AMSA’s partial, needs-based scholarships reserved for AMSA Pre-med members.  Please check back in as more details can be found on the CFHI scholarships page in the coming weeks.

 

Scholarships will be given to students who demonstrate a commitment to their communities as well as financial need and an interest in exchanging ideas and sharing experiences with people in Bolivia, Ecuador, India, Mexico and South Africa.  Priority will be given to people of ethnicities underrepresented in CFHI programs, as well as those who have had limited opportunity to travel abroad and no prior international health experience.
